UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE MAURICE L. NOVACK, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA FINGER-RING CONSTRUCTION Application filed April 28, 1930. Serial No. 447,819.

This invention relates to finger ring conthey will snugly receive the ring A between structions and the primary object is to prothem when the latter is inserted upwardly vide a combination ring wherein two rings as indicated in Fig. 3. In addition to the such as a wedding ring and an engagement connecting section 7 the bands and 6 are 5 ring, while separate and separable units, are further connected by a pair of small con- 50 so formed that they will interlock, one with nected links 8 and 9, that may be of any size the other, in substantially a single unit, or shape but are here shown as heart shaped when worn together upon the finger. More by reason of the sentimental association with particularly the object is to provide a pair of engagement and wedding rings. These links 10 interlocking ring units one of which conare rigidly secured to the spaced bands 5 and 55 sists of a single band while the other 0011- 6 by soldering or fusing, and are preferably sists of two bands which are connected by disposed slightly below the transverse ditie pieces but are sulficiently spaced apart ameter of the ring thus bringing them slightto snugly receive the single hand ring.
